They also have the VAT. I'm not sure how that works on imported goods, but it can't lower prices.

Wouldn't European prices depend on the value of the Euro against the
Yen, instead of against the Dollar?

Plus, I'm pretty sure you have higher import duties than the U.S.

Pentaxeros list the K1 for 1999 EUR.

I may have missed this information on this list, or maybe everybody has
read it elsewhere, - but I just found what the release prices are going to
be for the new Pentax body and lenses.

Adorama offers the for preorder (all USD):
K-1: $1800
15-30/2.8: $1500
FA 28-105mm f/3.5-5.6 ED DC WR Lens: $500.
Pentax D HD FA 28-105mm f/3.5-5.6 ED DC WR

So, that body price is not prohibitively high.
I'd assume that once the dust settles, the would eventually (by Black
Friday?) come down to the vicinity of 1.5-1.6k.
